Maine is now a nutty liberal state. Maine and Vermont were the only two states to vote against FDR in one of the elections. Now both of these states are overrun by liberal fruits and nuts.

It is obvious that in Maine, Republicans are really democrats...

In Vermont, politicians are looney-tunes...and mean...

New Hampshire has one very good senator, Sen. Gregg.

The rest of New England---progressive, liberal to the core.

I have one suggestion for the idiots who are against parental notification.
Remove the word "abortion" and insert "any medical procedure". Thats what an abortion is, a medical procedure.
The law would read, "A minor need not give due notice to one of his/her parents before receiving any medical procedure."
Tell me how many legislators would vote to pass that law!! It is absurd that abortion would get a pass like this. Plain and simple, this is the denial of parental rights over their children.

Bless Debra for trying! The whole argument for not notifying parents before an abortion stemmed from a few cases of deaths due to illegal abortion. If the teen wasn't afraid of their parents they would have not died. If they could just get an abortion without approaching parents the would still be on this earth.

Looking past the fact that abortion is murder this logic is just wrong. How many teens have died from complications following an abortion because they wouldn't tell their parents they needed medical treatment for complications following a procedure that the parents never knew about? I'm sure there are a few cases out there but so far nobody has spoken out about it. If they have spoken the media has kept it quite. Sooner or later it will happen because not every abortion goes smoothly.

So now minors need parental permission before they can get their belly-button pierced, but not for an abortion.

... continues to assist pro-choice women

Pro-choice my butt, these two *whores, snowe and collins, are pro-infanticide, neither of them has ever carried a baby to term, and ...

*Whore A woman who sells herself and accepts money in return for servicing a man or woman.

Snowe and Collins are whores of the very worst kind.

The only thing that makes these two tolerable is that they too will one day face God Almighty. One day they too will find that the writer of Hebrews 9:27 was qouting God.

I disagree, a medical procedure is to save or enhance life, abortion is the intentional first degree premeditated taking of a life by slow torture.

The sanfranssisyco of of the east coast.

Email or call any memeber of the maine legislature and let them know that there is no way you would take your family and children to the state of maine as long as it is the moral cess pool of the country.

"We've become the California of the east coast."

Maine actually does follow Calif in many of its laws, mostly dealing with the environment. For example, we now do as Cal does and outlawed the sale of diesel autos. Big trucks are fine but fuel efficient cars are not. I bought my VW Jetta diesel (45- 51 mpg) just before the ban took effect.

You can, however, just drive down to Mass or New Hampshire and buy one and drive it in the state. Dumb, but with our legislature, understandable.

Saw Snowe on TV yesterday wanting to close Gitmo, just like Jimmah Carter. She looks more like a Sharpei every day. How old is she?
